Miracles, Synchronicities, Confirmation

In my life, and in this line of work, I have been witness to many extraordinary things and miracles. Over time it has become commonplace to have one or more of these synchronicities occur throughout my day.

Last summer I met a native elder who expressed " I don't believe in miracles..I expect them." And I feel the same way.

He was endeavouring to explain that the more we listen to our intuition, and the more we are present with our life and present within ourselves, the more we become witness to the wonderful miracle that life is. We expect the miraculous, because it becomes our 'norm'.

Now just because I 'expect' miracles does not mean that they are ever boring, or that I no longer have extreme gratitude for them. In fact quite the opposite is true. They never cease to amaze me. I am humbled by them.

Just the other day I was tidying up after a weekend of beautiful Reiki classes with extraordinary healers and was in a state of extreme gratitude. During this time, my Mom happenned to call me.

During the distance healing part of our Level 2 Reiki class I had been sending some healing energy her way. I thought she may have been calling about that as she sometimes 'feels' distance Reiki. She did say her headache went away at that time, but the reason she was calling was to tell me about a 'strange and wonderful' thing that had happenned around that same time.

My Mom is a very wonderfully creative lady and years ago she was taking a watercolour class during the summer. It was during a time I was facing a very serious illness and she had been worried about me. Her teacher had asked them all to talk about their paintings that day once they had finished. She had described the different elements in her painting and explained that a large yellow light part of her painting represented a circle of light and all of the people that were helping me become well again. she had named the painting Circle of Light. As she told me this story I was overcome...I burst into tears.

She had never told me this story before, and she had since forgotten about the name of the painting. It wasn't until the day she found it again that she realized the significance. My business is named Circle of Light. I received that name very clearly one day while meditating and it has always been with me. Even when moving to the Waterdown location I contemplated changing or even modifying the name and could not do it..I kept getting the strong message that the name was Circle of Light. So here she was cleaning out her basement in preparation to move and pulling out an old painting that she had named the exact name I had receive for my business.

Was it an accident or co-incidence? I know it was not. Circle of Light is a representation of the circle of light we all have individually..our own personal light as well as the collective healing light we expand into when our energies merge together, when we work together and help one another. This name has had many meanings for me over the years, and it touches my heart and soul that we both received this same message albeit in different ways. It is confirmation to me that in spite of the many challenges I have faced over the years that I am on the right path. The Circle of Light is my thankfullness for the healing I have received coupled with my hope to share this same gift with all who require healing in their life right now.

We all have moments when we question our life path no matter how wonderful it is. Self contemplation is part of our humanity..it is how we change, grow and evolve. This 'miracle' was a sign to me that no matter what may happen in the future, to hold steady to the dream. I need to do this work..it is who I am...Being of service to others, in whatever capacity they may need me, is my joy and I cannot imagine living any other way.

My wish for everyone reading this is to have your own miracle in the coming days, weeks or months to give you the confirmation you need to make your dreams a reality. Anything IS possible.....We just need to BELIEVE!

Angel At The Drive Thru

I had a wonderful unexpected surprise this afternoon.
To put this story in perspective I have to confess that I have had probably one of the most hectic weeks I have had in a long time. As a practitioner who counsels others on how to 'keep it all together' in times of chaos..I have found this week I have had to a lot of my own advice.
Great and wonderful things are happenning..it is just at such a fast pace I feel like I have been going nonstop for 3 days and am craving down time.
I was going through a Tim Hortons drive thru, not being present, my mind going over the massive 'To do' list for today.
I was on complete autopilot. My kids were with me and I mindlessly ordered them a treat along with my treat.
Then I rolled on up to the cash and was told the person in front paid for my order.
What?!!
Everything stopped.
I was snapped right out of my autopilot(busy mind-self centred-managing my life) state into on of Surprise, Joy and Extreme Gratitude. It was not until I was snapped out of the mind program I had been running that I realized that I was even stuck in a mind program. It was the sheer unexpectedness of it all. This gift was under $5 and yet it was as though the lady who had been in front of me gave me the gift of a lifetime.
Never Ever underestimate the power of a kind word, an unexpected gift or the simple act of being present with someone brings.
I KNOW there are angels among us. And truly believe many of those angels are us, that we often adopt the role of 'Angel' to help those in need, or just by being in the right place at the right time.
I would like to thank this mystery angel, who in a single act of unexpected kindness, reminded me of how something seemingly small means absolutely Everything.
Thank you!
Have a beautiful 'unexpected' day!

Just Hold Steady

Hi everyone!
We have been having back to back energy shifts this past year and for some this break neck speed has been taking it's toll.
In light of how it has been affecting everyone (even those of us unaware) I would like to share some tips that have helped me stay sane in spite of(my busy schedule, family life and business, as well as being super sensitive to energy fluctuations).

1. Revisit your PASSION ~ why is it you are in your life, why is it you are in your career, relationship, house etc. Take a good look at it, revisit the initial passion that led you there. Then change what needs to be changed, heal what needs to be healed and re-commit to the things you are passionate about with a new freshness.
Once you re-commit, the universe will begin to support you energetically. Joy and excitement attract more positive experiences than grief and apathy and frustration.
If you are unhappy, look at why that is, and change your mind.
2. HOLD STEADY ~ Do not make major decisions based on a whim or an emotion. Intuition has a softer steadier tone. Hasty decisions made on the wave of emotion will always come back and bite you in the (you know where). If things are chaotic, hold steady. Wait for the storm to pass, then act. While in the midst of chaos, it is never the best time for action.
3. HONOUR YOURSELF ~ Take a day off. If you are overwhelmed, cranky, tired, and have 'had it' call in sick and have a pajama day. The world will not end. You can drag out your low energy or bad mood for days or even weeks but if you take one day off and really set the day aside to recover or sleep or eat cornchips(whatever works for you)you will be more prepared to move beyond whatever is bothering you.
4. LIGHTEN UP ~ Have a Laugh. Honestly. We are all maybe not in the same boat, but we are all on the same ocean. We all have ups and downs. We all want the same thing-to be happy. Now what makes us happy changes from person to person, but we are all on this journey called life doing the best we can, with the tools we have. So never pass up the opportunity to laugh at yourself or to have compassion for what someone else may be experiencing.

I hope this helps!
